Restoran Wong Koh Kee

Top 100 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 11am – 2pm. No fixed off-days

Last but not least, if you think that the meats are just overwhelming and you crave for something more homely and tummy-warming, try their double boiled soups especially the one with groundnuts, chicken feet and wolf berries.

Business Hour 11.00 – 8.00 pm

Come here if you miss grandma’s cooking or authentic Hakka fares that are slowly disappearing from the generic menus glorifying fusion fares and ultra-complicated flavours.

Up & Up Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 11am – 10pm No off-days yet.

Still, a meal for three came to about MYR102, including a serving of curry fish head, sambal petai with prawns, bean sprouts salted fish and choy pou (preserved radish) with dried shrimps omelette, steamed rice and Chinese tea, relatively acceptable but no doubt more premium that the average ‘dai chow’ restaurants.

This coffee shop opens early in the morning and closes after lunch. There are only a handful of hawker stalls here, but what they offer is quality cooking.

The Mugshot Cafe

Cuisines Western Cafe Halal
Business Hour Mon - Sun: 8:00 am - 12:00 am

Fresh coffee, hand-crafted juices, homemade yogurt, and the best bagels in George Town.

The Mugshot Café does not offer a severely extensive food menu, which can be a blessing in disguise to stand out from the rest.

Kheng Pin Cafe 群賓茶餐室

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 7am - 3pm (Closed on Monday) Only opens during breakfast and lunch.

You can find different types of hawker food there like Char Koay Teow, Loh Bak, Yu Sang Kai Chok (Porridge), Chicken rice and others. Kheng Pin café is an old style café where you will still find those old fashioned marble tables and wooden chairs.

The wanton noodles at Kheng Pin cafe is another viable option you could go with, in case devouring greasy, fried foods in the early hours of the day just did not sound so appetizing

Business Hour 11am - 5.30pm (Closed on Monday)

It's a popular place to dine out for its specialty dishes. More and more people visiting to this place after it appeared in Taste With Jason.

The restaurant has this very similar set up to Sitiawan seafood restaurants; vast seating capacity with round tables that can fit an extended family comfortably, high ceiling to generate a sense of space and airiness (you definitely need the latter, as there is no air-conditioning here), and selection of simple Chinese cooking (only a few dishes available daily, I will go more into that later) served with a refreshing albeit slightly intoxicating coconut wine or toddy.

Ang Hoay Lor

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour open for lunch (12–3pm) and dinner (6–9 pm) daily except Wednesdays.

The ambience was an unmistakably retro one; not manufactured like the many retro-fitted boutique cafes in town but the real deal.

Menglembu “Wai Sek Kai”

Most of the stall at Menglembu Wai Sek Kai do not have a signboard in English indicating what they are selling, so you’d do best by being nosy and observe what they are serving, or ask around.

Ah Loi Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens from 4.30 pm onwards, until about 10.30pm Off-days not fixed.

At Ah Loi, there was absolutely no gap to fill, the crunch in every spoonful of the sprouts was relished, reigniting every ounce of magical memories of growing up eating bean sprouts (or sometime better known as ‘taugeh’) from Ipoh.
